Approximately 48 million Americans have some degree of hearing loss. Yet only 1 in 5 people who would benefit from a hearing aid actually uses one.2
Missing parts of the conversation can be frustrating, and constantly asking others to repeat themselves is embarrassing and can become tiring on their end. Seeking treatment can ensure your telephone conversations are easier to understand.
Through advances in hearing technology, we can use a wide range of products and accessories to find the perfect match for your individual needs, activity level and places where you spend your time. State-of-the-art technology, such as Bluetooth® connectivity, enables you to wirelessly stream directly to your iPhone® and other electronic devices.
Background noise, especially around the dinner table, makes hearing even more difficult, as your brain has to work harder to distinguish speech from other distracting sounds. Constantly straining to hear can lead to mental and physical exhaustion.
While you may not notice you have turned the volume up on your favorite holiday classics to an unsafe level, your family members sure will. It only takes one incident of turning the volume up too loud for them to notice your hearing loss.
Don’t miss out on the cheer with family and friends. Many people with untreated hearing loss find it easier to simply stop attending social functions instead of feeling isolated and ignored the whole time. This may lead to feelings of depression and anxiety.
